The plot has any number of sinash dramatic scenes which give the various players sample opportu uity for effective portrayals.

"THE LOST SQUADRON DRAWS CROWDED HOUSES

THRILLING AIR STUNTS

"The Lost Squadron" now 502

ing at the Central Theatre has been drawing crowded houses for the past two days and it looks very much as though this picture will rank among the best drawing cards in the way of talking films shown in the Colemy.

For those who like thrilling air stunts, The Lost Squadron " is a' picture they should not miss, Thore are many shots" of breath-hold. ing stunts as well as several spećta- cular crashes, where aeroplanes can be seen going up in Hames.

Stunt-flying, however, is not the only meritorious point about the picture. The story is a simple one, 1 clearly depicted, and a romantic atmosphore rius right through it all. Richard Dix is in the ending male role and is supported by a very strong cast including Mary Astor, Erich Yon Stroheim, Jori Mellon, Dorothy Jordna and several other well known stars.

An incidence of the film, which proved to be a very welcome feature was the music, which included a number of songs which were sung in every home during the turbulous days of the Great War.

In addition to the main actre tion, a cartoon "Plane Dumb " together with a short comedy at the beginning of the programine makes the current attractions at the Cen- iral very wholesome fare for cinen- goers.
